'''Scary Prank''' is a [[screamer]] [[application]] developed by Yizhan Ye and published on the [[Wikipedia:Apple App Store|Apple App Store]] for [[Wikipedia:iOS|iOS]] in 2010. As its name suggests, it is designed as a bait-and-switch tactic for users to startle unsuspecting players by tricking them into playing a seemingly innocuous memory game. The application has been discontinued from the storefront at an unknown date, but an archive of one of its builds is available for download outside of the App Store.

== Description ==
The application uses an icon sourced from a still frame in the [[YouTube]] video titled Katies Scary Face. Upon loading, the game first opens a main menu that contains a "Play" button. When interacting with it, it transitions to another menu, which displays "Idiot Test" as the title. The page itself does not hint to a screamer; As such, the user may hand over the device to a victim by this point, as intended by the application.

After clicking on another "Play" button, the game starts up by displaying a photo of a cloudy sky for the background, and series of two strings of digits marked in red sliding on the screen horizontally until they are hidden off-screen begin to appear. After both strings are no longer shown on the screen, the application asks the player: "Same Numbers?", and will prompt them to answer either "Yes" or "No". If the player were to answer correctly, a check mark will appear on the screen, with text reading: "Excellent :)". If incorrect, a cross instead appears with the text "Fail :(". Another series of strings of numbers then appears. This process repeats indefinitely.

Another series of strings of numbers then show up. This process repeats indefinitely.


However, as the game continues on for a brief period of time, a flashing image of a face from Dane Boe’s ''Scary Faces'' series would randomly appear, alongside the same scream from [[Little Dancing Girl]] (possibly a previous edited version, since it contains no distortion and splicing).

== Trivia ==
* The application was first covered in a previous article from January 2025, where it was unidentified at the time and given the nickname "Same Numbers?". Its name and creator were eventually uncovered by Screamer Wiki user [[User:Intel586|Intel586]] in November 2nd, 2025.

Scary Prank is a screamer application created by Yizhan Ye and published on the Apple App Store for iOS in 2010. As its name suggests, it is designed as a bait-and-switch prank for users to startle unsuspecting players by tricking them into playing a seemingly innocuous memory game. The application has been discontinued from the storefront at an unknown date, but an archive of one of its builds is available for download outside of the App Store.

The application uses an icon sourced from a still frame in the YouTube video titled Katies Scary Face. Upon loading, the game first opens a main menu that contains a "Play" button. When interacting with it, it transitions to another menu, which displays "Idiot Test" as the title. The page itself does not hint to a screamer; As such, the user may hand over the device to a victim by this point, as intended by the application.

After clicking on another "Play" button, the game starts up by displaying a photo of a cloudy sky for the background, and series of two strings of digits marked in red sliding on the screen horizontally until they are hidden off-screen begin to appear. After both strings fade off the screen, an alert box would be displayed: "Same Numbers?", and will prompt the user to answer either "Yes" or "No". If the player were to answer correctly, a check mark will appear on the screen, with text reading: "Excellent :)". If incorrect, a cross instead appears with the text "Fail :(". Another series of strings of numbers then show up. This process repeats indefinitely.

However, as the game continues on for a brief period of time, a flashing image of a face from Dane Boe's Scary Faces series would randomly appear, alongside the same scream from Little Dancing Girl (possibly a previous edited version, since it contains no distortion and splicing).
